Hello,
I have made the move to Canada from US in mid January...
I exported my car from US into Canada... got car inspection done as well.
questions...
1. how much time do I have before I register my car in Canada?
I know there is a 45 day timeline before I need to get the inspection done... (which I have completed)
But I want to check on the maximum time I have before I register my car in Ontario. The reason I want to delay this is because I do need to visit US in next few weeks, and I need my US license to take care of few paper works dependent on that... (basically need some more time - more than 45 days - to hold on to my US license, because if I register my car today in Canada, they would need Ontario license and for that I would have to surrender my US license)
2.How long will my US auto insurance company be able to support my car here in Canada?
From what I have gathered - they should be able to honor the insurance until I get my car registered in Canada, or until half of my policy duration (whichever is sooner).
But I also think / wonder that how will they be able to cover my car after the export? I would think that they would cease to cover my car as soon as I exported it out from US... but could not find a good proof of that...
Meaning they would cease coverage as soon as it is exported? Or they would cease coverage until it is registered in Canada?
thoughts?
